There fs no other- one thing which enables us to make so good ' an impression, especially unonl 4. - 1. those who do not kaow us thor oughly, as the ability to converse well. A man who Gan talk well, who has the art of putting things in an attractive way, who can interest others immediately by his power of speech, has a very great advantage over one who inay know more than he, but who cannot express himself with ease or eloquence. You may be a good singer, a. fine artist, you may have a number of accom plishments which people occa-sionly-see or enjoy; you may have a very beautiful home and a lot of property which compari- vely few people ever know about; but if you are a good converser, every one you meet recognizes and appreciates your art. Ev erybody you converse wi'h feels the influence of Tour skill and charm. Iii other words, there is no ac complishment, no attainment, which you can use so constantly Taft does not do all the work. Mrs. Taft has her share, and with her the wives of the Cabin- ate members in leading the so cial life of Vashington, says May Van Norden, in . a recent letter from the National Capitol. .The ladies Of an Administration have powers and duties just as oner ous, one might almost say, as their husbands. If the new men are required to do things or for bidden to do other things by velt dominated.all that had to do with the Roosevelt regime, Pres ideut Taft will dominate merely the official side of his reign. Mrs.' Taft will, by a strong -.'feminine personality, direct that E. T. Judd ie authority for tie statement that the berries shown were equal to any he had ever seen exhibited.

Malaria ever has been, and is yet, the great barrier against the invasion of the i tropics by . the white races, nor has its injurious ; influence been confined to the deaths that it causes, for these gaps in the fighting line might be filled by fresh levies drawn from the wholesome North. Its fearfully depressing and degen erate effects upon even those who recover from its attacks have been still more injurious. It has been held by careful students of tropical disease and conditions that no small part of that singu lar apathy and indifference which steal over the mind and body of the white colonists in the tropics, numbing even his moral sense and alternating with furious out bursts of what the French have termed "tropical wrath," char aeterized by unnatural cruelty and abnormal disregard for the rights of otners, is the deadly work of malaria. It is the most powerful cause, not merely of the extinction of the white. colonists in the tropics, tut oi the peculiar degeneracy physical, mental and moral which is apt to steal over even the survivors who suc ceed in retaining a foot-hold. Two particularly ingenious . in vestigators have advanced the theory that the importation of malaria into the islands of Cr ,e e and the, Italian penninsula by soldiers returning from the Afri can and Southern Asiatic con quests had much to do with ac celerating, if not actually pro moting, the classic decsy of both these superb civilizations.
